Yoo! 🤯 TYBW Already!! Damn! it Would Take Another 6-7 Manths Before We Get To See Those PEAK Reaction!!! That Being Said TYBW cour-3 Just about to Finished on December 28 2024. Hopefully Normies Gonna Catch upto the Live Hype of PEAK BLEACH!!! Just can't wait man... Bleach TYBW is Pure Peak... 🔥🔥🔥
@@starstreamheartlocke652 Remake everything of bleach in TYBW style, but actually have people die when they should (why did hiori survive being sliced in half etc...), remove everything past the original final Aizen battle and have people like kyoraku etc use their bankai in the karakura battle. Also make the Espada less of a joke in karakura town.
Just keep in mind that Bleach was made during a time where they needed to pad out the run time. You guys won’t have to worry about pacing with the TYBW though.
Not necessarily cour 1 and 2 has the opposite problem of some scene being very rushed but cour 3 has perfect pacing Also Fullbring is well paced as well.
Mashiro was saying she can maintain her mask for 15 hours under normal circumstances. She wasn't accounting for the level of fight she was actually having against Wonderweiss and that's what Kensei was trying to warn her about.
To explain things better it is not Aizen shikai itself that causes the hypnosis to trigger, it is seeing him activate it. Once you see that, you are doomed to fall under his shikai’s powers whenever he wants. Meaning that unless Aizen deactivates his shikai and reactivates it mid battle, Ichigo is safe.
Fun fact: a handful of filler episodes are based off cover arts that Kubo drew for various chapters. There was a Holloween themed episode and the one you saw was based off an Aladdin type setting. They’re fun to watch.
@@trevonwest5079they also skip fun extra credit scenes. Knowing thousand year blood war is hype made them speed run like people who call chainsawman overrated and binge read it all in a day and forget things or call it story less or paced fast no you just speed ran it lol
The reason as to why Baraggan is no 2 is pretty simple. If you remember in Stark’s flashback, he already appeared to have been an Arrancar, which means that he’s already naturally evolved, a feat that all the other Espada were not able to achieve. Although, there’s a short chapter called “unmasked” that shows Ulquiorra’s backstory, and it’s kind of implied that he’s also evolved to Arrancar, so why is he no 4? In his last fight with Ichigo, he said that he didn’t give up his healing ability for greater strength, so I’d assume that’s what it is.
Ulquiorra also had a second level release that he hid from Aizen and the other Espada, so he probably was more powerful than no 4., but he didn't care about his ranking.
@@MrLadorid personally say from everything we saw of all the Espada, Ulquiorra probably was more like 3, and Halibel was more like 4. The 2nd release of Ulquiorra just seemed so unbelievably powerful. Whereas Halibel never really dominated any captains (or even any opponents), and the captain and lieutenants she fought were playing around the whole time when they teamed up. Hitsugaya wasnt even in bankai mode anymore when they teamed up. Her power wasnt all that impressive in any of its feats, and I kinda question if she even could have escaped that ice prison without Wonderweiss's help (maybe she could have? Hard to say). Halibel definitely seemed more like 4, and Ulquiorra like 3 (in his 2nd state).
I am so glad TYBW did away with the violence editing. Watching these older episodes and knowing the differences between the manga and the anime makes some scenes SO much different. Her being just stabbed vs being cut in half in the manga makes his desperation so much more understandable.
I remember watching it while it aired and due to the constantly changing TV time slot in japan one episode would be fairly bloody then the next episode would immediately be noticeably less violent.
Just to give you guys some information about VAs, episode 286 is the first episode with Kenpachi’s new voice actor since the original voice actor left the show. The new/current voice actor is the same one that voices Ichigo’s dad Patrick Seitz
Specifically, it's the release of Aizen's shikai that causes the Kyoukasuigetsu Genjutsu to take effect. Not just looking at the sword. You have to see him do the release.
56:36 the dub mentions 'Isane' in ichigo's explanation but she was never mentioned in the subbed version. Originally he just said that Orihime's ability can heal woulds very quickly, but it takes a long time to fully restore spiritual pressure. Ichigo didn't want to wait so he left before Orihime could finish. IDK why the dub mixes up the characters.
The whole scene suffers from dub translation requirements. They end up saying very little with a lot of words so they can match up to the anime dubbing. How they mixed up Isane and Orihime, I will never know.
Ichigo explaining his bankai to Unohana and revealing that he was at less than half of his power five minutes after she had compared his current power level to that of a captain made me lose my mind when I read that in the manga. I was more shocked than she was lol
It makes sense when you think about it, how he wasn't able to keep his new hollow mask on when fighting Yammy, but with the Aizen fight he had it on for like 20mins+.
An important fact not mentioned in the anime is that the Vizards can stay with the hollow mask through training for a long time, but they cannot enter bankai with hollow masks because they will lose control of their hollowfication. Ichigo could do that for a few seconds at first, then rapidly progress through fighting experience.
This really does remind me why I hated everything to do with Yammy so much in this arc 56:33 I love how this entire conversation is here to explain that Ichigo has similar spirit energy to a captain when he's only half filled up on his supply
[Tidbits & Clarifications] - "My mask feels heavier" All ways came across as add-on to the whole not accepting himself theme. Usually the phrase of people "wearing a mask" refers to them putting on an act or in some way not being their true self. In this case ichigo seems to really really hate that part of himself so it'd be harder to put on the act or "that mask", which is why I believe the mask is stated to be "heavier". - In Kluboutside we learn that Ichigo's hollow mask here is actually supposed to look the same as it did when he became a full Hollow, but he's afraid of his power and of himself, so his mask is incomplete, it doesn't have the horns or hair. - Unohana uniquely braided hair is an actual interesting topic, during an interview before the final arc her hair was brought into question, so don't worry you'll get your answer. [Kubo rarely does things for no reason, if you ever reread Bleach you'll notice so much subtext]
Yeah his fan club answers prove he includes things for a reason. Yet people still call him trash and bleach is mid no story etc. one piece fans dissect one piece like it’s rocket science. Other fans get lobotomy kaisen for their series with readers who just power scale all day and call anything not expressed in exact words a plot hole and bad writing 😢
Harribel was already Vasto Lordes in the flashback, the strongest and rarest level a Menos Grande Hollow can obtain. As far as we know, all the top 6 were Vasto Lordes before becoming Arrancars. No. 9 said he was a Gillian (the giant black ones) which is the lowest of the Menos class.
@@Karma-pq9fi I heard in the Bleach novel ‘Can't Fear Your Own World’ which is set after the blood war arc mentions that he indeed became a Vasto Lorde at some point.
14:50 An important fact not mentioned in the anime is that the Vizards can maintain hollowfication through training for a long time, but they cannot enter bankai with hollow masks because they will lose control of their hollowfication. Ichigo could do that for a few seconds at first, then rapidly progress through fighting experience.
As others have stated Hiyori got cut in half in the manga but the main reason it's such a big deal is because at that point we hadn't seen an injury of such magnitude be survivable especially without Orihime present.
Believe it or not, but I would argue this is the last canon episodes in the whole anime where the pacing really suffers. Arrancar arc picks up from here and never lets up until the end and Fullbring and TYBW doesn’t have the same pacing issues as arrancar arc.
They could still be bored of fullbright. They just want clean no talking fights they don’t care about the story. They will care later in hindsight most reactors start loving bleach after tybw episode 5
@@Dragonpuncher123 oh agreed. It's almost shot for shot and modern pacing. Bleach is a tuff cookie cause among the big 3 it has big long filler arcs that would help the pacing but bleach also has manga wise way more giant pannels and less dialouge than say one piece so while one piece pans and pads out episodes and gets away with it cause fans mostly dont even watch one piece but read it and then watch hype parts or watch at 1.5 speed or one pace, bleach has the issue of needing to drag stuff even though it (when paced modern style) would need like 6 chapters an episode vs the accepted or expected 2.5-3 of modern series. TYBW goes through 5-6 chapters sometimes and feels kinda fast paced but good. Fullbring arc was pretty much finished so they could pace it right and just drill through it. Honestly i feel like of the big 3 if you skip filler, bleach is basically a seasonal modern anime if you watch it at 1.5 speed. Also they hate on filler and honestly they would like filler alot as its faster to the main 3 acts of a story, has jokes they'd like with captains, and has the best animation for final bosses, some surpassing tybw.
@@Dragonpuncher123 also I think they wont like it cause they will be bored from not seeing the captains for so long, and from having to slowly figure out the mystery element and they might annoyingly call it filler. Real bummer that they will likely come out of bleach thinking its the worst of the big 3 when i think all 3 (yes even one piece tv wise) have their flaws and almost even out. Naruto they were more patient for given the big world adventere aspect and plenty of characters and subplots and mysteries. Bleach kinda has mysteries and subplots but lots of focus on fighting smaller fries and if you know he will win and get to the big fry you get and think the small battles are filler. Watching or reading without knowing tybw exist would have made this better. Just my two cents sorry for long post.
I have to say I loved each and every filler when I watched them, to me having more time with characters in situations where they can show off their power at that point in the manga that really wasn't shown all that much in the anime. Which is why some Naruto fillers disappointed me because I wanted to see more of him using Sennin Mode with the coat and everything, but the only real time we got to see him in that mode was the Pain fight, after that he never really wore the cloak again except in the movie that one time but it barely lasted.
Every captain has their own ego cause they are the authority . A few in term of proper discipline like byakuya , others just in their own things like mayuri and kenpachi . Even in an organisation , they always banter cause they also has different and distinct ideology.
51:05 I mean it’s pretty clear what they’re talking about byakuya is pointing out that mayuri has hope for ichigo which isn’t like him. That’s why he’s speaking to him like that and mayuri is denying it mayuri is pointing out the past byakuay wouldn’t talk like that either. They are both pointing out that they have changed since soul society it’s pretty clear from the dialogue. Nothing about that is confusing or ambiguous.
Pat's over there talking like Uncle Andrew in "The Magician's Nephew"... "How's a mad scientist supposed to find human specimens to experiment on? What am I supposed to do, ask their permission!? Ours is a High and Lonely Destiny, Digory!"
I really like Halibel's original design (her Arrancar design is great too) and while I do wish they handled the top 3 Espada fights better, especially giving Halibel a cooler showcase for her power, it IS pretty cool that the top 3 Espada were doing pretty well against multiple opponents I like 287, it was a fun one off filler, akin to Kakashi's mask fillers (though that one being a running joke filler made it a bit more fun)
I don't think Barragan wasn't placed 2nd just to spite him. If you recall the flashbacks, Starrk was already an evolved Arrancar when Aizen met him, while Barragan and Harribel were only Vasto Lorde. So his base form was already stronger than them. Also this was never animated, but if I recall correctly, Ulquiorra was also an evolved Arrancar when Aizen found him, which would explain why his power is way beyond rank 4. Aizen probably knew about it, but still assigned him #4 just cause, but he's probably up there with Starrk in power levels. Yami is probably the lamest dumbest part of Bleach. Even Tite Kubo after he used him for a cheap "ooo there's actually #0 espada" shock factor, offscreened him. xD
30:10 It’s hilarious you use Renji’s first appearance and fight against Ichigo as him fighting well because like many other fans you’ve forgotten that Renji got bodied by Ichigo in that fight and had to be saved by Byakuya 😂. Renji has won exactly 1 fight ever at this point in the series and it was against the one bull Arancar whose name I don’t even remember.
Shikai requires a release command and saying the swords name, so it's not like Ichigo needs to start the fight with his eyes closed or something he can fight Aizen like normal because Aizen releasing his shikai would be massively telegraphed by him saying the release command and name of his zanpakuto, at that point ichigo would probably need to either close his eyes or at least interrupt Aizen in some way.
Renji didnt fight a Privaron Espada, he went straight into the Szayel Aporro Grantz fight Until now he has only 2 wins against Ishida and Yllfordt Grantz And 1 Team win against the Exequias leader Which is not a lot, but people forget about it
Also Kubo made that design canon because he liked it from the arc but he turned it into Shunsui's bankai instead of a Zanpakuto spirit release. Also the existence of Muramasa is canon as well. Just not the arc.
@@Karma-pq9fi With Renji's struggles with bankai, Yumichika's distain for his bankai, Toshiro's backstory and more in-depth on his relationship with Momo and Rangiku, Shunsui's bankai look, the fact that Nanao has no Zanpaktou and the one that she has a relationship to, and apparently Muramasa is actually canon. I think the arc has some merit outside of laughs
Kenpachi vs Noiitora is actually one of Kenpachi’s best fights for him and Noiitora but it’s not well adapted it also hits harder when you actually understand Noiitora and his dynamic with kenpachi. It’s not a fight that you just watch because it’s a fight.
I'm beginning to see why the Soul Society arc is so beloved and overshadows this one. The fights here are so mind-numbingly slow and tedious. They drag on for ages!
Jesus the dub really dropped the ball on these episodes, SO many banger lines and important details completely lost to inferior translations. Aizen has so many savage lines in this show and some of his best were in this episode. Aizen didn't "just" say the espada are weaker than him, he said all of the espada *combined* are weaker than him, and his last line to Harribel was actually "Don't make me go through the effort of swinging my sword twice against the likes of you" *right* after admitting he had let everyone sacrifice themselves for him but was striking her down himself because he'd decided she was so weak there was no point in letting her continue to try.
Either a custom mixed version of Treachery or a remixed version of it unless it's from one of the games or movies and I'm just not remembering that exact version. But yes it's a sample from Bleach.
47:09 The funny thing is, I like each of Bleach’s fillers quite a bit… which is a lot more than I can say for some other anime. The only thing I think is wrong with them is the timing.
"I would hate if this was week to week and saw this filler" Nah, you would have loved it. That filler was the funniest shit and continued one of Byakuya's best running gags from the fillers.
The rush is ruining it for them. Imagine if you watched one piece like that. They should just watch 5 min recap of bleach. It’s okay people don’t have patience anymore 😢😊
@@nichescenes I didn't have the patience for it back then either. Watching this show week to week was very much torture and I have to assume yall were just high or VERY young with nothing better to do when you first saw it. The only thing ruining it for them is the content itself. The pacing for the show is godawful and even in the manga this section dragged on pretty badly. I suppose a third option for why yall enjoyed the filler is just because it let you escape arguably the worst section of the series for a bit.
@@Reshapable But you could say that for all the big 3. Naruto and one piece have parts that drag and are canon. Luffy running to fight the big bad of the island each arc. Doflomingo vs straw hats took the length of chainsawman, demon slayer and nearly jjk s1+2 combined. Modern shows are just faster paced but as a result don't get that timely feeling like you been through it like you get in older shows. like playing a 100 hour RPG, sure some was repetitive and you could beat 10 games that are 10 hours long in that time but you feel so connected to your 100 hour group of misfits. But yeah it's time and patience and most today would rather 10 games then 1 that takes a long time. It's not just cause people were dumb kids as you think with nothing to do. Not everyone is tiktok riddlin crazed for constant info overload or were bored. Some just took it.
@@Reshapable That said yeah some of the parts they sigh at (not all) are fair game and annoying but they couldn't catch up to the manga. And I agree the fights even in manga were dragged not sure why authors do that. Did they want more time to work on the ending or they're told to slow it down IDK. Current JJK seems to be going from fast pace to slower while still sorta fast if that makes any sense for example. DBZ dragged in the past and is still beloved. And no one can tell me one piece isn't dragged even manga wise. It's all preference and people generally seem to not like bleach as much as the other big 3 but TYBW showed them when it returned with normal pacing and got #1 for a shonen which is tuff since many look down on shonen for not being deep or just being action based.
@@nichescenes You seem to be doing a lot of comparative analysis which is unnecessary. It doesn't matter what other shows are doing, long games with unexciting plot sections tend to have other means of entertaining (there is no gameplay to a show, if its a slog to watch its a slog period), and for what it's worth I have never and never will use tiktok so that too is irrelevant. It's just bad pacing. Not because expectations have changed, not because other shows did better, and not because it's a "style". It is a critical flaw and I will not blame anyone for their strained patience over it because it is deserved.
Kenny and Byakuya both have high ego so Im not surprised they are acting like this. Im glad Byakuya reminded Ichigo of his duty. I find it hillarious that Mayuri believes Ichigo will win.
According to Q&A #578 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", after Ichigo's final fight with Ulquiorra, should Ichigo have "properly" Hollowfied after that, he would have taken on the same Full Hollow form that killed Ulquiorra. However, Ichigo's fear at his own powers prevented him from truly using his Hollow side afterwards, as evidenced by only his mask manifesting and the mask feeling "heavier" and more brittle.
After this batch of episodes, we have gotten past most of the needlessly padded out episodes, and the plot now moves at pretty brisk pace from here on out
I DO NOT miss how shounem battle anime used to be aired in the past. I shudder thinking how it used to be handled before, it has more padding than Eris.
The 100 backstory’s and constant jumping to other groups of people mid fight has always been so annoying you’d finish one battle like 10 episodes later
Patreon folks, I need your help. I was able to find all of the translated mid-episode cards/keywords for cours 2 & 3. I know they are currently reacting to TYBW, so it'd be awesome if someone could forward them the pics so they can read them after they have watched an episode, at the end of each. YT won't allow me to post l1nks, so you can find them on my about page. Unfortunately I do not have the translations for the cour 1 eyecatchers, so if someone could send them those as well, that would be great.
It is not Genjutsu because in Genjutsu the body stays still and the person experiences everything in the mind whereas Aizen affects the surrounding environment, the sense so to speak.

Believe it or not, but I would argue this is the last canon episodes in the whole anime where the pacing really suffers. Arrancar arc picks up from here and never lets up until the end and Fullbring and TYBW doesn’t have the same pacing issues as arrancar arc.
They could still be bored of fullbright. They just want clean no talking fights they don’t care about the story. They will care later in hindsight most reactors start loving bleach after tybw episode 5
@@nichescenes They can be bored by anything. The point is that the pace isn’t bad compared to the manga.
@@Dragonpuncher123 oh agreed. It's almost shot for shot and modern pacing. Bleach is a tuff cookie cause among the big 3 it has big long filler arcs that would help the pacing but bleach also has manga wise way more giant pannels and less dialouge than say one piece so while one piece pans and pads out episodes and gets away with it cause fans mostly dont even watch one piece but read it and then watch hype parts or watch at 1.5 speed or one pace, bleach has the issue of needing to drag stuff even though it (when paced modern style) would need like 6 chapters an episode vs the accepted or expected 2.5-3 of modern series. TYBW goes through 5-6 chapters sometimes and feels kinda fast paced but good. Fullbring arc was pretty much finished so they could pace it right and just drill through it. Honestly i feel like of the big 3 if you skip filler, bleach is basically a seasonal modern anime if you watch it at 1.5 speed. Also they hate on filler and honestly they would like filler alot as its faster to the main 3 acts of a story, has jokes they'd like with captains, and has the best animation for final bosses, some surpassing tybw.
@@Dragonpuncher123 also I think they wont like it cause they will be bored from not seeing the captains for so long, and from having to slowly figure out the mystery element and they might annoyingly call it filler. Real bummer that they will likely come out of bleach thinking its the worst of the big 3 when i think all 3 (yes even one piece tv wise) have their flaws and almost even out. Naruto they were more patient for given the big world adventere aspect and plenty of characters and subplots and mysteries. Bleach kinda has mysteries and subplots but lots of focus on fighting smaller fries and if you know he will win and get to the big fry you get and think the small battles are filler. Watching or reading without knowing tybw exist would have made this better. Just my two cents sorry for long post.
I have to say I loved each and every filler when I watched them, to me having more time with characters in situations where they can show off their power at that point in the manga that really wasn't shown all that much in the anime. Which is why some Naruto fillers disappointed me because I wanted to see more of him using Sennin Mode with the coat and everything, but the only real time we got to see him in that mode was the Pain fight, after that he never really wore the cloak again except in the movie that one time but it barely lasted.
Yall don’t understand the characters still yet. Kenpachi does not finish ppl he feels is weaker and have no more fight left
Bleach for Christmas!
Every captain has their own ego cause they are the authority . A few in term of proper discipline like byakuya , others just in their own things like mayuri and kenpachi . Even in an organisation , they always banter cause they also has different and distinct ideology.
51:05 I mean it’s pretty clear what they’re talking about byakuya is pointing out that mayuri has hope for ichigo which isn’t like him. That’s why he’s speaking to him like that and mayuri is denying it mayuri is pointing out the past byakuay wouldn’t talk like that either. They are both pointing out that they have changed since soul society it’s pretty clear from the dialogue. Nothing about that is confusing or ambiguous.
57:50 "Why he make her hair like that"??
Oh.. you'll find out..
Pat's over there talking like Uncle Andrew in "The Magician's Nephew"...
"How's a mad scientist supposed to find human specimens to experiment on? What am I supposed to do, ask their permission!? Ours is a High and Lonely Destiny, Digory!"
By far your reactions to Bleach are the best on Ytube, big kudos!
I really like Halibel's original design (her Arrancar design is great too) and while I do wish they handled the top 3 Espada fights better, especially giving Halibel a cooler showcase for her power, it IS pretty cool that the top 3 Espada were doing pretty well against multiple opponents
I like 287, it was a fun one off filler, akin to Kakashi's mask fillers (though that one being a running joke filler made it a bit more fun)
“Handled it better” barragan and Starkk had the best fights for their characters?
Man these episodes haven’t aged well. The dialogue is absolutely painful…
Not a thing in a sub version or Manga
Remember, when you protect someone, you don't let them die.
21:38 Fun Fact: In the manga, Hiyori just got sliced in half.
Obviously, they couldn't show that on daytime TV.
that filler episode 287 was based off of a full page spread where all the characters were drawn wearing desert clothes.
I don't think Barragan wasn't placed 2nd just to spite him. If you recall the flashbacks, Starrk was already an evolved Arrancar when Aizen met him, while Barragan and Harribel were only Vasto Lorde. So his base form was already stronger than them. Also this was never animated, but if I recall correctly, Ulquiorra was also an evolved Arrancar when Aizen found him, which would explain why his power is way beyond rank 4. Aizen probably knew about it, but still assigned him #4 just cause, but he's probably up there with Starrk in power levels.
Yami is probably the lamest dumbest part of Bleach. Even Tite Kubo after he used him for a cheap "ooo there's actually #0 espada" shock factor, offscreened him. xD
30:10 It’s hilarious you use Renji’s first appearance and fight against Ichigo as him fighting well because like many other fans you’ve forgotten that Renji got bodied by Ichigo in that fight and had to be saved by Byakuya 😂.
Renji has won exactly 1 fight ever at this point in the series and it was against the one bull Arancar whose name I don’t even remember.
I only remember him as "Szyell Apporo Granz's non-Espada brother. And I love Renji, but he even needed a little "girl" to help him win that fight 😄
Shikai requires a release command and saying the swords name, so it's not like Ichigo needs to start the fight with his eyes closed or something he can fight Aizen like normal because Aizen releasing his shikai would be massively telegraphed by him saying the release command and name of his zanpakuto, at that point ichigo would probably need to either close his eyes or at least interrupt Aizen in some way.
Renji didnt fight a Privaron Espada, he went straight into the Szayel Aporro Grantz fight
Until now he has only 2 wins against Ishida and Yllfordt Grantz
And 1 Team win against the Exequias leader
Which is not a lot, but people forget about it
51:35 you know something shit was gonna happen once the villain stop protagonist's ost 🤣
Considering what happens in TYBW wouldnt the Zanpaktou canon/filler arc actually be in the line to watch?
Not really. The manifestation of a single Zanpakutou isn't worth an entire filler arc.
Also Kubo made that design canon because he liked it from the arc but he turned it into Shunsui's bankai instead of a Zanpakuto spirit release.
Also the existence of Muramasa is canon as well. Just not the arc.
No because it has nothing to do with the story
@@Karma-pq9fi With Renji's struggles with bankai, Yumichika's distain for his bankai, Toshiro's backstory and more in-depth on his relationship with Momo and Rangiku, Shunsui's bankai look, the fact that Nanao has no Zanpaktou and the one that she has a relationship to, and apparently Muramasa is actually canon.
I think the arc has some merit outside of laughs
@@Zarola Also a cool animated fight of Byakuya vs Koga.
That laugh is fantastic 😅
Cant wait to see you review TYBW!!!
Exactly . They have enough to do 4 eps and 3 cours until season 4 next yr .
Kenpachi vs Noiitora is actually one of Kenpachi’s best fights for him and Noiitora but it’s not well adapted it also hits harder when you actually understand Noiitora and his dynamic with kenpachi. It’s not a fight that you just watch because it’s a fight.
51:16
I wonder if *something* about her was revealed earlier would she fight ichigo here
7:12 no, Rana just spread misinformation, Barragan is just simply weaker than Stark
20:43 in the manga, Hiyori get divided in two.
I'm beginning to see why the Soul Society arc is so beloved and overshadows this one. The fights here are so mind-numbingly slow and tedious. They drag on for ages!
There's a GREAT reason why Unohana does her hair like that. I'm not saying she's hiding something, though.
Jesus the dub really dropped the ball on these episodes, SO many banger lines and important details completely lost to inferior translations.
Aizen has so many savage lines in this show and some of his best were in this episode.
Aizen didn't "just" say the espada are weaker than him, he said all of the espada *combined* are weaker than him, and his last line to Harribel was actually "Don't make me go through the effort of swinging my sword twice against the likes of you" *right* after admitting he had let everyone sacrifice themselves for him but was striking her down himself because he'd decided she was so weak there was no point in letting her continue to try.
I forgot how absolutely terrible bleach padding is back then
i don't see how when 50% of it it's trash.
That’s why people say read it.
They never asked to be vizards. The experiment made them stronger than a captain, but it was against their free will.
Stronger than captain? Low tier captain can solo the vizords at once 😆.
Only One sleeve of Ichigo's spiritual pressure is equal to Captain when they were at their best.. that's what UNohana was referrting
This is why yammy is the most hated espada.
That character design is impractical?
Maybe so…
@@burningnyte they’ll see soon enough😏
Right it’s hair literally anyone can do that 😂😂
In the manga, Yammy can fire a black Cero like Ulquiorra but from his mouth.
Exactly
Is the intro song a sample from Bleach or am I tripping
Either a custom mixed version of Treachery or a remixed version of it unless it's from one of the games or movies and I'm just not remembering that exact version.
But yes it's a sample from Bleach.
47:09 The funny thing is, I like each of Bleach’s fillers quite a bit… which is a lot more than I can say for some other anime. The only thing I think is wrong with them is the timing.
Soon enough you’ll know why unohana kenpachi braids designed like that
292 and 293 need to be posted together
"I would hate if this was week to week and saw this filler"
Nah, you would have loved it. That filler was the funniest shit and continued one of Byakuya's best running gags from the fillers.
The rush is ruining it for them. Imagine if you watched one piece like that. They should just watch 5 min recap of bleach. It’s okay people don’t have patience anymore 😢😊
@@nichescenes I didn't have the patience for it back then either. Watching this show week to week was very much torture and I have to assume yall were just high or VERY young with nothing better to do when you first saw it.
The only thing ruining it for them is the content itself. The pacing for the show is godawful and even in the manga this section dragged on pretty badly. I suppose a third option for why yall enjoyed the filler is just because it let you escape arguably the worst section of the series for a bit.
@@Reshapable But you could say that for all the big 3. Naruto and one piece have parts that drag and are canon. Luffy running to fight the big bad of the island each arc. Doflomingo vs straw hats took the length of chainsawman, demon slayer and nearly jjk s1+2 combined. Modern shows are just faster paced but as a result don't get that timely feeling like you been through it like you get in older shows. like playing a 100 hour RPG, sure some was repetitive and you could beat 10 games that are 10 hours long in that time but you feel so connected to your 100 hour group of misfits. But yeah it's time and patience and most today would rather 10 games then 1 that takes a long time. It's not just cause people were dumb kids as you think with nothing to do. Not everyone is tiktok riddlin crazed for constant info overload or were bored. Some just took it.
@@Reshapable That said yeah some of the parts they sigh at (not all) are fair game and annoying but they couldn't catch up to the manga. And I agree the fights even in manga were dragged not sure why authors do that. Did they want more time to work on the ending or they're told to slow it down IDK. Current JJK seems to be going from fast pace to slower while still sorta fast if that makes any sense for example. DBZ dragged in the past and is still beloved. And no one can tell me one piece isn't dragged even manga wise. It's all preference and people generally seem to not like bleach as much as the other big 3 but TYBW showed them when it returned with normal pacing and got #1 for a shonen which is tuff since many look down on shonen for not being deep or just being action based.
@@nichescenes You seem to be doing a lot of comparative analysis which is unnecessary. It doesn't matter what other shows are doing, long games with unexciting plot sections tend to have other means of entertaining (there is no gameplay to a show, if its a slog to watch its a slog period), and for what it's worth I have never and never will use tiktok so that too is irrelevant. It's just bad pacing. Not because expectations have changed, not because other shows did better, and not because it's a "style". It is a critical flaw and I will not blame anyone for their strained patience over it because it is deserved.
Kenny and Byakuya both have high ego so Im not surprised they are acting like this. Im glad Byakuya reminded Ichigo of his duty. I find it hillarious that Mayuri believes Ichigo will win.
last time when kensei was cool
I cannot wait them to watch TYBW
Kensei’s Bankai, Tekken Tachikaze, is Japanese for “Iron Fist Earth-Severing Wind.”
Kenny would’ve finished Yammy if he saw Yammy was on par to Ichigo.
According to Q&A #578 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", after Ichigo's final fight with Ulquiorra, should Ichigo have "properly" Hollowfied after that, he would have taken on the same Full Hollow form that killed Ulquiorra. However, Ichigo's fear at his own powers prevented him from truly using his Hollow side afterwards, as evidenced by only his mask manifesting and the mask feeling "heavier" and more brittle.
Love Navi and her questions so much
Stark still stronger but barragan rottig ability is broken
Rana looks incredible here
Omg Xmas day stooop how’d you know!?!❤❤❤❤
Why do ya'll think Yammi weak enough to get beaten quickly? He's #0... It took 3 captains to beat #1 and Yammi is stronger...
Its impressivel how much bleach anime riped apart what the manga originally is
The Yammy fight really feels even more unbearable than Pesche and Dondochaka 😂😂😂
Yall gonna post tybw after fullbring arc is all on youtube?
After this batch of episodes, we have gotten past most of the needlessly padded out episodes, and the plot now moves at pretty brisk pace from here on out
Am I missing something with how they’re pronouncing Byakuya?
58:00 Hmm good question >:)
I DO NOT miss how shounem battle anime used to be aired in the past. I shudder thinking how it used to be handled before, it has more padding than Eris.
The 100 backstory’s and constant jumping to other groups of people mid fight has always been so annoying you’d finish one battle like 10 episodes later
Patreon folks, I need your help. I was able to find all of the translated mid-episode cards/keywords for cours 2 & 3. I know they are currently reacting to TYBW, so it'd be awesome if someone could forward them the pics so they can read them after they have watched an episode, at the end of each. YT won't allow me to post l1nks, so you can find them on my about page. Unfortunately I do not have the translations for the cour 1 eyecatchers, so if someone could send them those as well, that would be great.
Can someone tell me where they at in Patreon
It is not Genjutsu because in Genjutsu the body stays still and the person experiences everything in the mind whereas Aizen affects the surrounding environment, the sense so to speak.
Pat is a concerning guy 😂
That Unohana 👀menacing👀moment with Ichigo is always a pleasure to watch! Love her so much.
In the manga, Gin cut off her whole lower body.
The mask runs out faster in combat
Exactly.
Even the non-filler feels like filler sometimes. I forget how long this was in the manga, but this really is going on forever. lol
It wasn’t this long in the manga.
